NAMEhme -- Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
devicemiibusdevicehme
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
if_hme_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Fast Ethernet
interfaces.
HARDWARE
The hme driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun
UltraSPARC workstation and server models.
Cards supported by the hme driver include:
+o Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (``hme'' and ``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
+o Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
NOTES
On sparc64 the hme driver respects the local-mac-address? system configu-
ration variable which can be set in the Open Firmware boot monitor using
the setenv command or by eeprom(8). If set to ``false'' (the default),
the hme driver will use the system's default MAC address for all of its
devices. If set to ``true'', the unique MAC address of each interface is
used if present rather than the system's default MAC address.
Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board ver-
sions on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and all
add-on cards except the single-port SBus versions.
